Title: Improvements in and relating to Buttonhole Sewing Machines.
Inventor: OSTROM FREELAND WILLIAMS
Filed: 1901-07-23
Granted: 1901-09-14
Abstract: 15,001. Ostrom, F. W. July 23. Buttonhole - sewing machines ; buttonholes, barring.-Consists of means for sewing the side stitches, sewing long barring stitches, and overstitching the latter with stitches at right-angles to the side stitches, in one operation. As in a similar prior machine, the cross - slide 5 carries the work clamp, and receives a feed movement during the side stitching from the feed-cam 34, this slide 5 being carried in a slide 8 which is vibrated transversely to the buttonhole by a lever 20 actuated through springs 25 from a lever 23 operated by a switch cam. In the present machine, the cam 34 carries on its underside a cam 53, Fig. 3, which co-acts with followers 58, 59 on the slide 8 to control the length of the side and barring-stitches and to effect the transverse feed during the overstitching of the bar. During the stitching of the first side of the buttonhole, the followers 58, 59 engage the concentric portions 69, 68 of the cam 53, and afterwards with the concentric portions 66, 67, in order to make the longer barring-stitches. As the barring is started, mechanism for vibrating the needle-bar in the direction of the buttonhole is thrown into operation, and this vibration continues till the completion of the subsequent overstitching. The bar stitches 64, Fig. 11, are thus made oblique, and the overstitching 65, Fig. 12, effected. The mechanism just referred to comprises the lever 77 pivoted at 78 and engaging the lower end of the needle-bar, and capable of being vibrated by a link 82 from a pin 84 on the lever 23. The engagement of the link 82 and pin 84 is controlled by a cam on the feed ratchet-wheel. On the completion of the long barring-stitches, the followers 58, 59 engage the eccentric parts 60, 61 of the cam 53, which, as the cam continues to rotate, cause the slide to feed transversely for the formation of the stitches 65. The cam 53 is yieldingly driven by a spring 56 and stud 55, Fig. 4, so that contact between the flat sides of the projections 60, 61 and of followers 58, 59 can cause no injury, and, further, so that the followers 58, 59 may, in their to-and-fro motion when engaging the eccentric portions 60, 61, alternately retard and compel the rotation of the cam 53, and thus cause the cam to move step by step. On the completion of the bar, the second side of the buttonhole is stitched and the second bar made, in a similar way to that just described. The different positions of vibration of the work during the stitching of the two sides are obtained by making the parts 69, 68 of the cam of different radii. In a modification, the side and long barring-stitches are controlled by a cam carried on a horizontal shaft driven from a shaft carrying a cam which comprises only the parts corresponding to 60, 61.

Title: Improvements in Letter and like Lifts
Inventor: FABRY FRANZ MAURITIUS
Filed: 1903-01-20
Granted: 1903-04-16
Abstract: 1379. Fabry, F. M. Jan. 20. Lifts, letter. The two ends of the lifting-rope of a letter or like lift are secured to the top and bottom of the letter-box a, and pass round pulleys at top and bottom of the shaft, and the intermediate part of the rope passes through eyes e on the letter-box and thus serves as a guide for the latter. The shaft of the top pulley d has fixed to it a pinion gearing with a spur-wheel h, by which it is rotated. On the letter-box reaching the top and being emptied, the spur-wheel h is thrown out of gear by a lateral movement, and the letter-box returns by its own weight. Fig. 4 shows the device for controlling the position of the wheel h. A boss on the spur-wheel shaft has two peripheral grooves connected by two oblique grooves p, and fixed pins q engage these grooves. After turning the wheel h in one direction, a half-turn in the opposite direction causes the pins q to engage the grooves p and thus shift the wheel to its other position. Springs l help to initiate this movement. The box is raised to make its slit register with the outside slit by a cam t, which, in rising, makes an electric signal contact.

Title: Process for Producing Coloured Effects on Dyed Paper.
Inventor: IMRAY OLIVER
Filed: 1903-02-05
Granted: 1903-12-03
Abstract: 2809. Imray, O., [Farbwerke vorm. Meister, Lucius, & Br³ning]. Feb. 5. Coloured paper.-Dyed paper is given the effect of marbling, streaks, dots, veins, and the like by treatment before or after dyeing with an aqueous solution of such substances as influence the dyestuffs used, particularly oxidizing agents, for example, chlorites, hypochlorites, bromites, hypobromites, and alkali chlorates, and reducing-agents, such as alkali sulphites and bisulphites, compounds of stannous oxide and hydrosulphites. If substances capable of acting as azo-dye-stuff components are used, the desired coloured effect may also be produced by using diazo-compounds, such as diazo-p-nitrobenzene. If orange-azo-dye-stuff and fuchsine, followed by potassium sulphite, are used, orange-yellow designs on a garnet-red ground result ; methyl-violet 2B and Victoria-blue B similarly giving light-blue on dark blue-violet. Absolute contrasts in colours may be produced by adding to the discharge solution an easily-soluble dye-stuff unaffected by the substance used. The solution is preferably applied when the paper is not quite dry, as just before it enters the last pair of drying-rollers. Immersed silk paper and the like may be treated dry with subsequent redrying, but this treatment is not generally convenient. In order to obtain irregular spots, to resemble marbling, a roller, covered with absorbent material such as sponge or india-rubber sponge, revolves with its lower periphery in a colour box and is slightly pressed against the paper before it enters the last drying. rollers. The colour may be supplied by a felt-covered feeding-roller. Adjustment of the pressure and of the speed ratio of the sponge-covered roller to that of the paper varies the shape and size of the required spots.
